You'll need a SolCard account and a Solana wallet that holds the SOLC you want to stake. Staking is in the web app. On a phone, open it in your browser.
1. Link your wallet
Go to app.solcard.cc/staking and choose Link wallet.
Connect your Solana wallet and sign the message. Signing isn't a transaction and costs nothing.
Pick carefully. You can link up to 5 Solana wallets, and your tier counts the SOLC staked across all of them. Links are permanent: a linked wallet can't be removed or swapped, and a wallet can belong to only one SolCard account.
2. Stake
Choose Stake SOLC. Pick a tier and the amount fills in, or type your own amount.
Approve the transaction in your wallet. You'll pay a small Solana network fee.
Your tier goes live within a few minutes.
SOLC you've already staked from a linked wallet counts too, even if you staked it before linking.
3. Use your card
Your perks apply automatically. Two need a tap:
Auto-enter for Drops: switch it on in Staking → Your perks.
Free cards (Preferred and up): claim them in Staking → Free cards 7 days after your stake first reaches the tier's minimum (as long as it stays there), and once your identity is verified.
Staking more or unstaking
You can add SOLC or unstake any amount, anytime, from the same page. Before you unstake, read Unstaking, warm-up and pending rewards. Unstaking can forfeit rewards that are still pending.
Troubleshooting
"This wallet is already linked to another account." Each wallet can only belong to one SolCard account. Contact support if you think that's wrong.
My tier hasn't updated. Changes usually show within a few minutes. If it's been longer than 15 minutes, contact support with your wallet address.
I linked the wrong wallet, or lost access to it. Links are permanent, so the wallet stays linked. You can link another wallet (up to 5) and stake from it instead.
